MEN IN GREEN

I met an old soldier today
a man of Black and Green
who told me stories of the men
who fought in Black and Green.

He told me of England`s darkest hour
when we stood all alone,
of the miracle of Dunkirk
saved by men like those of Black and Green.

Of the gallant last stand of our brothers in arms
joined together by the colour of Green
when all men of Green fough side by side
until the bitter end.
